SECTION V: EMPLOYEE PROTECTION

Ventilation: General ventilation and local exhaust recommended.  Build up of mists/vapors in the working atmosphere must be prevented.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Respiratory Protection: Respirators should be used when engineering or other controls are not technically feasible.  When required, use only a MSHA/NIOSH approved air supplied respirator or an air-purifying respirator.

Eye: Safety goggles or face shield.

Gloves (specify): lmpervious type gloves, such as rubber, neoprene. nitrite, polyethylene:

Clothing: Protective clothing such as a coverall or apron may be used to minimize skin contact.

Footwear: No special requirement.

Other: Eye wash and safety shower recommended in industrial settings.

Work/Hygienic Practices: Avoid skin and eye contact.  Do not wear contaminated clothing; Launder before re-use or discard. 
Wash thoroughly after handling.

Storage/Handling: Maintain ambient temperatures. Avoid  prolonged breathing of mists. Use with adequate ventilation.
Corrosive to the eyes and skin. Severe internal irritation and damage can result when ingested. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or
clothing.  Do not swallow. Keep container tightly closed when not in use.

Keep out of reach of children.

Spill or Leak Procedures:
Use best engineering practices when attempting cleanup of a
large spill.

Large spills - Wear respirator and appropriate protective clothing. Stop source of leak if possible. Dike, contain spill end recover free liquid. Prevent entry into waterways. Neutralize and/or soak up residue with an inert absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable materials; Store and dispose of properly. Flush area with water. Where feasible and appropriate, remove contaminated soil.

Small spills - Neutralize and/or soak up spill with an inert absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable materials.
Store in a closed container and dispose of properly.

Regulatory spill reporting requirements may apply: Contact governmental agency or legal counsel for advice.

Waste Disposal Method:
If discarded as supplied. Material meets RCRA characteristic definition of corrosivity, D002. The toxicity characteristic has not been evaluated.  Under RCRA, the applicable hazardous waste classification must be evaluated prior to disposal of the material. Use of the product, processing or contamination may render the resulting materiel hazardous or alter waste classification.

All recovered material should be packaged, labeled, transported and disposed of or reclaimed in accordance with local, state and Federal regulations regarding air pollution, water or health.

CAUTION: Improper disposal or reuse of the empty container may be hazardous and illegal. Cutting or welding of empty containers may cause fire, explosion or toxic fumes from residues. Do not pressurize or expose to open flame or heat. Keep container closed and drum bungs in place. Refer to applicable governmental regulations.
